It is reported that Apple is expected to fully replace the USB-C connection hole on the iPhone 15, and the connection cable that comes with the box will also be changed from Lightning to USB-C. Some people who broke the news obtained this connection cable in advance and conducted a specification test, but the results showed that Transfer speeds are limited to the USB 2.0 specification, and are still just as slow.
According to the leaker Majin Bu, the included USB-C cable will be made of braided material, which is more durable, thicker than before and up to 1.6 meters long. Apple also added that there is no MFi certification requirement, which means that as long as the USB-C that meets the specifications can be supported, users will not be restricted in purchasing cables. The bad news is that the measured USB-C cable only has the USB 2.0 specification.
Apple Lightning is also based on USB 2.0 technology, and the maximum transmission speed only supports 480 Mbps. If you want to transfer large video files, it will be very slow. It has not been switched to Thunderbolt, which can reach the fastest 40 Gbps as previously expected.
The foreign media “9to5mac” believes that the situation is still variable, because another previous revelation showed that some iPhone 15 model body parts have Thunderbolt transmission chips. It is speculated that Apple will exclusively allow iPhone 15 Pro and other high-end models to support Thunderbolt. , or all models have it, but a Thunderbolt-exclusive transmission cable will be sold additionally, not a random gift. The last possibility is that what Majin Bu got was not an iPhone connection cable, but a transmission cable for a clever mouse and keyboard, neither of which requires Thunderbolt and USB 3.0.
